Ultra Marines clip: Chaplain Carnak

Admittedly, the animation looks kinda dodgy, but the voices are great. I'm looking forward to seeing a living, moving 40K film, should be fun.

Rememberance Day

On 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month... we remember.

LXIII: My 1st Nurgling (completed)

"Nurglings are tiny, mischievous daemons, resembling a chubby miniaturized version of a Great Unclean One. They normally appear in large numbers."

7.) I added the horn, filled-out the back side a little more and (not pictured) sculpted a little bone for him to hold

8.) I neglected to take a picture, but there was a step before this where I added a nub of an arm, prior to adding the hand/ bone.

9.) Bulked-up his left shoulder and elbow, also his right haunch.

And now he's pretty much done. There are 4 nurglings to a 40mm base... I may push myself and try and get 3 more done this month.

(sorry for the bad pictures, the lighting here is terrible)

LXII: My 1st Nurgling (continued)

4.) Here you can see I cut out the sides of his mouth to make him more smiley (why so serious?)

5.) Starting to plump-up his cheeks/ chins

6.) You can't see from this angle, but I've given him a little bum, and I've continued plumping him up

I thought this would go faster, but it's actually pretty tricky sculpting at this size!
Legs are coming up next. Arms are going to be a challenge.

LXI: November Nurgling Challenge begins!

My 1st Nurgling!

1.) Here I go. I'm not a green stuff master, so I'm taking it easy my first time out. I'm using scrap GW plastic bitz from my bitz box to form a base.
(bitz used: 1 SM shoulder, 1 bloodletter face--horns removed)

2.) Glue them together

3.) Bulk-up with a little green stuff. This is just to get it to sit-up properly, and to start to get our shape.
(no details yet)

that's it for part 1! Up next: time to add some details and finish him off!

LX: November Nurgling Challenge

I'm starting a November Nurgling Sculpting Challenge over at PapaNurgle

>>So, here's the idea: Everybody sculpts a little nurgling from green stuff, AND makes a mini-tutorial for how they did it. Simple! Thus we create this big pool of sculpting tips/knowledge for all of us to draw upon, and a place to give feedback/encouragement to each other, and infect each other with new ideas and techniques.

>>This is where the "challenge" phase begins; we each then sculpt a second nurgling before the end of the month, hopefully better than the 1st "testling".

The goal is to increase the number of nurglings out there (for Papa), and more importantly, improve our confidence/ skills with GS in the process.

Doesn't that sound fun? You can play along, if you like :)

Crappy Mini, or Not?

Have you seen this website? Crappy Mini, or Not takes old, neglected minis, with horrendous paint-jobs, strips them & gives them a new lease on life. I love this idea of restoring old minis with new, awesome paint-jobs! Recycling, baby!
